When the first ray of dawn breaks through the clouds and fog, it shines on the land outside Zhongyue City.
The sun suddenly illuminated the densely moving Senhan soldiers in the distance!
Led by Han Feng and Shi Yishan, tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Governor's Mansion were already only a few miles away from Zhongyue City. The neat marching pace and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground were like rolling thunder, sweeping over.
The ground trembled slightly, and the amplitude intensified, so that the entire wall of Zhongyue City began to shake slightly.
At this time, the defenders on the city tower had also discovered the army approaching the front and quickly blew the warning whistle.
Not long after.
"Woooo...!"
The low horn sounded from the tower, and the war drum beat accordingly.
With the sound of iron chains clattering, the south gate of Zhongyue City opened, and a group of thousands of heavy armored cavalry filed out of the city.
The leader, wearing silver armor, tall and handsome, was Fu Zhuo who had confronted Han Feng and others yesterday.
The thousands of elite cavalry behind him were the former Anbei Army.
Although they had rebelled, these cavalrymen were all wearing sophisticated battle armor and riding half-demon wildebeests. They lined up neatly without making a sound.
This shows that they have not neglected their training and are still an elite cavalry.
This army came out of the city gate and entrenched itself between the city gate and the city defense formation.
Fu Zhuo, on the other hand, rode out alone and came to the front of the formation.
Seeing this, Han Feng and Shi Yishan also rushed forward and met each other in front of the formation.
"Haha... Mr. Governor, Mr. Shi, we meet again."
Fu Zhuo laughed loudly, then glanced at the mighty army on the opposite side, pretending to be surprised and said: "The two adults have brought so many people here, I am afraid that the entire army of the Governor's Mansion has been dispatched.
What, are you two adults planning to attack the city today? "
Facing Fu Zhuo's obviously sarcastic words, Han Feng remained indifferent, while Shi Yishan snorted coldly: "Hmph... Just with you defeated generals, there is no need for our entire army to be dispatched. Today I just let you wait." See the majesty of my army.
Fu Zhuo, if you are wise, surrender quickly. I can intercede for you because of my past friendship, and maybe I can spare your life. "
When Fu Zhuo heard this, he looked disdainful.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, now that we have reached this point, do you think there is still a way to survive if I surrender to you?
Haha... I think it's better to stop talking nonsense. If you have any means, just use them and see if you can do anything to defeat me. "
Shi Yishan narrowed his eyes and said: "It seems that you are very confident in yourself, Fu Zhuo, don't say that I am bullying the minority.
I see that you only brought 4,000 fine cavalry out of the city. In this case, I will also send 4,000 cavalry to fight you in front of the battle. Do you dare to accept the challenge? "
Hearing this, Fu Zhuo laughed proudly and said: "Haha... why don't you dare, but we must agree in advance that when the two armies are fighting, the other armies of yours need to retreat a few miles.
In addition, the moon-level experts on both sides are not allowed to intervene in the battle. "
When Shi Yishan heard this, he hesitated for a moment and looked at Han Feng. Seeing that the latter had no objection, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"
After the two parties reached an agreement, they returned to their camps and deployed their troops.
Not long after, each side sent four thousand elite cavalry out to confront each other at a distance of more than a mile in front of the formation.
The other troops in the Governor's Mansion retreated three miles as agreed.
At this time, the commander of the enemy army was Fu Zhuo, and on the side of the Governor's Mansion, it was Chen Yu'an, the commander of the Andong Army.
When the two armies were facing each other, Han Feng asked Shi Yishan: "General Soldier Shi, how sure is our army of winning this battle?"
Hearing this, Shi Yishan just smiled lightly and said: "My Lord Governor, I don't dare to boast about Haikou to you, my Lord, just watch the battle carefully."
There was a clear sense of confidence in Shi Yishan's words.
Han Feng also nodded and waited to see what happened.
After about dozens of breaths, both sides beat the war drums at the same time, the war horses neighed, and the weapons clanged.
Along with the command from both sides, there was a loud shout at the same time!
"attack!"
The armies of both sides charged towards each other at the same time!
The two armies charged like wind and clouds, thunder and lightning.
Moreover, this is not an army composed of ordinary people, but an army of spiritual warriors with the lowest level of cultivation.
Both sides were led by star-level warriors, leading the weak with the strong. During the charge, they each activated their dantian spiritual power. The spiritual power of thousands of people gathered together, rushing like a torrent with unparalleled momentum.
What's more, the people riding under them are not ordinary war horses, but semi-demon war horses with unicorn bloodline and amazing explosive power. Once they charge, they will have a huge impact.
Combining the two, the charge formed by the cavalry regiment gives people an unstoppable momentum that can crush everything.
The two sides were only separated by more than a mile, and almost in the blink of an eye, there was only less than a hundred feet of distance left. This was almost instantaneous considering the speed of the two.
Just as the two armies were about to meet head-on, Chen Yu'an, the commander of the Anton Army who was suspended in the sky and calmly observing the battlefield, suddenly shouted!
"put……!"
The moment the voice fell, the army of the Governor's Mansion rushed towards the more than 20 star powerhouses at the front, and several talismans appeared in their hands at the same time.
With the blessing of their powerful spiritual power, the talismans shot out like arrows.
Before the enemy could take action to shoot them down, these talismans exploded in the air, and each talisman erupted into several huge balls of hot fire, slamming them down towards the enemy army.
Nearly a hundred talismans turned into hundreds of fireballs and crashed down. Even though the enemy was experienced and the half-demon war horse beneath him had keen senses, he quickly dodged.
These sudden fireballs also caused the enemy's vanguard team to become chaotic in an instant. Dozens of people were hit by the fireballs and fell off their horses screaming.
And at the same time that the vanguard of the Governor's Mansion army was offering these fireball talismans.
Behind the army, nearly a thousand soldiers, who were covered by the front team, clamped their legs on the horse's belly, lifted up the "rhinoceros horn bows" hidden on the sides of the horses, directly opened the bows and set arrows, and the heavy arrows fell out of their hands.
"Whoosh whoosh...!"
A rain of arrows filled the sky, falling almost at the same time as the fireball, and attacked the enemy team crazily.
There were fireballs blocking the way in front of them, and there was a dense rain of arrows overhead, attacking overwhelmingly.
The enemy's charging formation instantly became more chaotic, the momentum of the charge dropped sharply, and the soldiers were constantly dodging the attacks of fireballs and arrows.
Seeing this situation, the commander Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately commanded the army below which was not slowing down at all.
"Charge at full speed and kill!"
The army was already ready to charge. After the talismans and several rounds of arrows were fired, they all held spears and spears and charged forward.
The enemy's formation had been disrupted, and their charge had almost stalled. Faced with thousands of cavalry charging at full speed, they were immediately at an absolute disadvantage.
"Boom boom boom...!"
Almost in an instant, the armies of both sides were in close combat, and the army of the Governor's Mansion was as powerful as a sharp knife.
The army directly swept away and knocked away nearly a hundred local cavalry blocking the front, charged into the enemy's camp with impatience, and continued to crush forward!
Seeing the army gaining an absolute advantage with one charge, President Shi Yishan smiled.
"Hahaha...good job!"
Han Feng on the side also nodded secretly.
He said in his heart that Commander Shi was indeed an experienced veteran, and his yin skills on the battlefield made Guo really smooth.
The cavalry charge is about going all out in one go. Now the enemy's edge has been frustrated, but our own momentum is like a rainbow.
If the battle situation does not change too much, our side has already secured victory in this battle.
However, it was thought that this battle would last for a while before the enemy would retreat and flee.
But the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.
It was almost the first round of charge by the army of the Governor's Mansion, entering the enemy camp, before the second round of strangulation was carried out.
The enemy commander Fu Zhuo suddenly shouted an order.
"The whole army retreats!"
After receiving Fu Zhuo's order, the enemy troops who had not yet launched a counterattack turned around and fled without hesitation. They were extremely decisive.
Seeing that the enemy troops were about to flee as soon as they met, the commander Chen Yu'an snorted coldly and said: "Huh, keep charging. Stop charging when we are two miles away from Zhongyue City."
Chen Yu'an was naturally unwilling to give in. The advantage he had gained in this round of charge was lost.
But he was also worried about being ambushed by the enemy, so he ordered the army to charge to Zhongyue City and stop within two miles, just in case.
The army took the order and immediately pursued them all the way. In just a moment, they killed more than a hundred enemy cavalry and gained the upper hand.
Seeing this scene, Han Feng and Shi Yishan, who were watching the battle from a distance, felt that something was wrong.
Shi Yishan looked at the enemy in the distance and realized that they were fleeing in the wrong direction. He found that the enemy was running in a chaotic and orderly manner. While retreating, he was gathering his troops in an orderly manner.
With many years of battlefield experience, he immediately smelled a conspiracy.
"No, Yu'an, let the army retreat quickly!"
Chen Yuan, who was in the void, also noticed that something was wrong at this moment, and immediately used his spiritual power to speak out and ordered the entire army to retreat.
However, the charge of the army has reached its peak, and it will take time to change direction at this moment.
Just when the army was ordered to slow down sharply.
"Roar……!"
A low roar suddenly came from the middle of the fleeing enemy team ahead.
The roar was like muffled thunder, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt.
What's even more weird is that the half-demon war horses riding by the Governor's Mansion's army actually neighed uneasily at this time. Some of the war horses even gave way and fell directly to the ground, knocking down the cavalry on the horses.
For a time, the army was in chaos.
And at the next moment, the enemy deserters suddenly separated. In the middle of the team, more than a dozen monsters, two feet tall and three to four feet long, were huge in size, completely black, with a single horn on their head, and looked like a wild bull.
Carrying more than a dozen enemy star-level warriors on their backs, they actually charged towards the army of the Governor's Mansion!
Seeing this situation, Shi Yishan's pupils shrank.
"unicorn!"
You must know that the war horses of the Governor's Palace cavalry are originally a species that was born from the cross between a unicorn and an ordinary war horse.
These unicorns are born with the power of suppressing the blood of these half-demon wildebeests.
In addition, these dozen unicorns are all star-level cultivations and have strong coercion, which directly caused the mounts of the Governor's Mansion army to become extremely panicked, directly leading to chaos in the army's formation!
However, the enemy's war horses seemed not to be affected by this.
At this moment, thousands of enemy soldiers and horses suddenly turned around, and following the dozen unicorn beasts, they charged towards the chaotic formation of the Governor's Mansion army.
As a result, the situation of the war was directly reversed.
The army of the Governor-General's Mansion, which had been advancing inexorably before, was unable to form effective resistance in the face of the returning enemy forces.
Dozens of soldiers on the edge were strangled to death by the opponent in an instant, and the number of sacrificed soldiers was rising rapidly.
Especially those dozen star-rated unicorns were even more unstoppable, crushing them all the way.
They trampled the passing soldiers and half-demon wildebeests directly into the ground. The heavy armor on the cavalry could not withstand the trampling of such a huge beast. In an instant, the armor shattered, their flesh and blood turned into mud, and the screams were endless...
In just a moment, the governor's army lost hundreds of people, but the army finally shrank quickly and barely stabilized its formation to resist the enemy's charge.
Although this kind of resistance was still extremely reluctant and the decline was obvious, it finally slowed down the casualties of the soldiers.
While the army was trying its best to stabilize its position, those star-level warriors used their strength at the same time to block the enemy's charge head-on, vaguely planning to launch a counter-charge.
However, at this moment.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...!"
Behind the enemy's rear, a sound broke through the air, and dozens of flying boats soared into the sky.
There were more than a dozen soldiers on each airship, and hundreds of them flew into the air. Each of them held a dark and cold "triangular crossbow" that was as tall as half a man!
"Fire the arrow!"
Fu Zhuo ordered coldly.
Hundreds of enemy soldiers directly triggered the machine!
"Whoosh whoosh...!"
In an instant, arrows rained down like rain. These crossbows were all continuous-fire crossbows. They could release more than a dozen crossbow arrows at a time, and the arrows shone with light. They were no ordinary crossbow arrows.
These crossbow arrows rained down with astonishing power, striking directly at the gathered army of the Governor's Mansion!
The power of the crossbow arrows was actually able to penetrate the spiritual warrior's body-protecting mysterious light and break through the armor, although the remaining power was hardly fatal.
But it also caused the formation that the army of the Governor's Mansion had barely maintained to be torn apart again.
The rain of arrows from the sky, coupled with the powerful charge of the enemy cavalry, finally made the elite Annan and Anton armies no longer have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
But at this time, the excellent quality of the Governor's Mansion army was also revealed.
As the battle situation collapsed, the army withstood the rain of arrows caused by the crossbows above their heads. Hundreds of cavalry turned around and took the initiative to face the enemy with high morale, while the others continued to retreat at full speed.
Although the enemy's charge was fierce, the hundreds of iron cavalry charged forward without fear of death, using their own flesh and blood to hold back the enemy's charge.
In the end, the main force of the army was able to retreat, and of the hundreds of cavalrymen who went upstream, only a dozen of them were seriously injured and escaped.
Seeing that the army of the Governor's Mansion had run away, the enemy stopped pursuing them and stopped where they were, letting out a burst of crazy cheers and shouts.
Then they turned around, cleaning up the corpses of the sacrificed Governor's Mansion troops along the way, collecting the spoils of war, and hurried back to the city gate.
On the side of the army at the Governor's Mansion, it was a completely opposite scene.
Four thousand fine cavalry went out to fight, but now only less than 3,000 people came back. Many people were injured. Thousands of people were directly sacrificed, while the enemy's casualties were only two to three hundred.
Comparing the two, the army suffered a disastrous defeat.
The commander-in-chief Shi Yishan's face was as gloomy as water at this moment, although the Annan and Annan armies combined totaled more than 20,000 people.
But these are the elites he carefully selected and painstakingly trained.
Now he had lost thousands of people in just one battle, which really made him feel sad.
Moreover, the first battle was a disastrous defeat, which can be imagined as a blow to the momentum of the army.
At this moment, Fu Zhuo, who was in the void opposite, used his spiritual power to amplify his voice and spoke loudly.
"Haha... Lord Governor, Chief Soldier Shi, are these the elites you use to destroy us? With this kind of strength, not only siege the city, but also a head-on battle, you will definitely lose.
I advise you to go back wherever you came from. It is best to vacate the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible. Sooner or later, our army will capture the entire Xichuan Province, and there will be no place for you here! "
(ps: Two updates today.)
